The Five Boroughs

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center

Here, the year’s marquee event is, of course, the US Open, which commences every August and ends in September at the main court, Arthur Ashe Stadium. If those dates seem far away, don’t be complacent—it’s never too early to start reserving tickets. Other times of the year, smaller tournaments abound for tennis fans, and the courts are otherwise open to the public, for $16 an hour. The complex is just across from the new Citi Field, and 15 minutes away from Midtown on the 7 subway line.
